Dropover - Easier drag & drop on your Mac

by
Top Hunter
Dropover provides a storage shelf that allows you stash, gather and move any draggable content without having to open side-by-side windows. Simply shake your cursor while dragging to invoke a new shelf or drop your drags onto the menubar icon.

Dropover is a Mac utility that I use everyday. It replaces DragonDrop and adds several convenient features, including (in this updated version) convenient cloud sharing to your own Dropbox account! Grab a file, give it a shake, and send it to Dropover. It's the best shelf app for the Mac.

@chrismessina I like the idea. It makes the process faster. Not sure if it supports also FTP transfers

@chrismessina Just bought it. It's super cool especially if you are working with files in finder.

Thanks for the hunt, @chrismessina! This project started as an experiment to learn Swift and macOS development (I'm actually an iOS developer). It's inspired by other drag & drop apps, but they didn't fully fit my workflow. So I decided to see how far I can come to fill in these gaps (e.g. minimal UI, dragged content preview & easy sharing). Dropover improves the drag & drop experience on Mac by providing a storage shelf where you can stash your drags. Just shake your cursor while dragging and drop your files onto the shelf that floats on top of all other windows. Then navigate to your destination without anxiety and move/copy all items at once. It's also great for quickly sharing files. Upload your dragged files with one click and get the public link copied, right from the shelf. It comes with built-in cloud service but also supports iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive & Imgur. There's much more but if your workflow includes organising, managing or sharing files, then you should give Dropover a shot. I hope you like it, and if you have any feedback, let me know!

@dursunovic is there any plan on offering API access where we could integrate our own cloud file hosting?

@dursunovic @menjilx not at this moment. I am looking into integrating custom actions (which would allow you to also integrate your own uploading)

I currently use an app called Yoink that does the same thing. I'll download this app to see how they compare!
Ouriel Ohayon
is this similar to yoink?

As someone who's been using Dropover for more than a month at this point, I can safely say that this is a must-have for anyone who works around moving and/or copying files regularly!

I have been on the lookout for something like this for a long time.

This is awesome! Perfect for screen-shots.. always get anxiety trying to drag a screen-shot to another app before it disappears... so smart! love it

The shake gesture bothers me. I'll stick to Yoink TYVM
